' This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in hair curling bars in the permanent Waving of hair.

The principal object of this invention is to provide a curling bar about which-the hair may be tightly wrapped and subjected to an application of heat from the inside as well as theoutside.

Another important object of the invention is to provide a curling bar which in use will not cause breaks in the convolutions on the bar which heretofore have resulted in an uneven parting of the hair.

These and other important objects and advantages of the invention will become readily apparent to the reader of the follow ing specification.

In'the drawings Figure 1 represents a side elevational view of-the unit with hair thereon.

Fig. 2 represents a side elevational view of the invention removed from the hair.

Fig. 3 representsan edge elevational view of the device, looking at the perforated edge portion thereof. 7

Fig. 4 represents a longitudinal sectional view through the barrel of the device. Fig. 5 represents a side elevational view of I the tightening bar.

I Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that this novel hair curling unit includes elongated barrel 5 which is provided with a longitudinally extending ridge 6 provided with perforations 7 A protuberance in the form. of an extension of the ridge 6 is provided at one. end of 'the barrel 5 and" noted by numeral 8, the same 'havingits edges disposed obliquely as shown in Fig-f ure'2. 7

' An elongated cylindrical shaped bar 9 extends longitudinally through the barrel. 5, and is provided with a longitudinally extending slot 10 at its intermediate portion. Obviously by inserting some instrument within this slot, the intermediate portion of the bar can be expanded so as to fric tionally engage the interior side of'the barrel 9 so that the bar can only be turned with some substantial degree'of effort on the part of the operator. 1

. 'Awing 11 is provided at oneend of the bar 9. and abuts one end of the barrel?) while" the opposite end of the bar 9 is slightlyreduced as at 12 andbifurcated as at 13, the' I extremityof the bar 9 terminating on a plane substantially flush with the extremity of the extension 8. f

It can now beseen that in using the units, the hair adjacent the scalp is tied and fastened to the rod 9 by engaging the cord or strand employed in the bifurcated end portion 12, after which the hair is convoluted on the barrel by forming the first convolution around the ridge extension 8.

After the hair has been convoluted along the barrel, wool is used in the usual manner to preliminarily retain the hair after which thle strand is used to tie the hair to the barre 5. 7

It cannow be seen that with the extension 8, the first convolution of the hair can be formed closer to the shell, and another important factor is that there is no offset head 7 to cause breaks in the convolutions and make irregular the parting of the hair when waving is done along the sides of the part.

To elucidate this-advantage, Figs. 9 and 10 disclose the conventional form found on the market. These forms usually embody a barrel 5' having a tightening bar disposed therethrough and provided with a head 12 l at one end, and beyond the adjacent end of the barrel 5. This head 12 is usually slotted as at 13 and usually the barrel 5" is provided with a hollow ridge '6.

Obviously when the tightening bar is rotated, the head 12 will assume this position, which obviously makes several breaks in the first convolutions, resulting in the irregular parting of the hair when working along this portion of the scalp.

Anysuitable key may be engaged with the wing 11 to facilitate the tightening operation of the bar 9, and furthermore with the perforator, steam can be expelled against the inner sides of the hair-convolutions to add to the efiiciency of the device by causing the hair to readily conform to the barrels and obviously retain this formation when released from the barrel.

While the zfior'egoing specification sets forth theinvention in specific terms, it is to be nnderstoodthat numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to 201 Without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new is A hair waving device comprising atube having a relatively blunt edge extending longitudinally thereof and about which hair is wrapped, said edge portion being provided with pertorations through which steam can be expelled, a bar rotatably carried in the tube and provided with means at one end through which the hair to be waved can be fastened said blunt edge of the tube having an extension at oneend located adjacent such means said extension acting to prevent the hair from slipping over the end of the tube during the tightening process.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
